In returning thanks to you for my miraculous
cure of eczema or salt rheum, deem IL advis-
able to give you detailed account OF my case,
and as there is, and always will be a prejudice
against advertised remedies, you have .lY con-
sent to publish this testimonial, and al inquiries,
by letter or in person, ] Will checrfdily answer.
| do this that people who go year after year
paying out large sums of money to incompetent
physicians and receive no cure, or even relief, or
end in filling premature grave, as was nearly
my case, may be induced to make trial of the
wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES.
At the age of three months a rash made its
appearance on my face. A physician was called.
He said teething was the cause, He prescribed
some cooling medicine, but the sores spread to
my ears and head. Another NJ d. was called.
He profeSSed to know all about the case called
1t Kings Evil and prescribed gunpowder,
birthstone and lard mixed into salve, but the
disease continued. They could rot do anything
with it. Another prescribed borex, water and
-four; another, linseed poaitices. None OF them
did me any good at all, but made me worse,
The disease continued unabated; it spread to my
arms and legs, till / was laId UP entirely, ana
from continual sitting on the floor on a pillow
my limbs contracted so lost all control of them,
and was utterly helpless. My mother would
have to lift me out and into bed. ! could get
around the house on my hands and feet, but l
could not get my clothes on at all and had to
wear sort of dressing gown My hair bad all
matted down or fallen off, and my head, face
and ears were one scab, and | had to have
towel on my head all the time in the summer to
keep the flies off My parents consulted prom
inent physician and surgeon here in Chicago (the
other physicians before mentioned were of Dun
das and Hamilton, Canada). He said he could
do nothing for me, that the chances were that
would grow out of it, or that it would strike in
wardly and kill ME III time. He wanted TO cut
the sinews of my legs so that | could walk, but
| would not let him, for if | did get better
would have no control of them
The disease continued in this manner until !
was seventeen years old. and one day in January,
1879 in the Chicago Tribune, / read an account
of your medicines. They described my case so
exactly that thought, as last resort, TO give
them a trial.
When first applied the CUTIcURA I was all
raw and bleeding from scratching myself, but
when | applied il / went asleep almost immedi-
ately, something | had not done for years, the
effect was so soothing.

interested Even certain sporting men in
this city paid more or less attention to the
rat-kllling contest, and when the final weeks
run was on every gambler iii town was back
ing one of the boys. News from the Dia-
mond and Empire was anxiously awaited in
some of the saloons each night as to the
count. The reports were very conflicting.
All sorts of stories were set ahoat as to the
records of 'Dick" and "Billn Both the
lads kept their own mouths shut close. No
body could get a word out of either, and
nobody really knew what each was doing.
Even the watchers were in the dark The
contest closed on Monday night and great
crowds tfOcked into several prominent sport
ing places in town to hear the result. The
Judges gave sworn testimony of the count.
The score for the thirty days killing stood
as follows: Dick, 2,419; Bill, 1,956-an ave
rage of eighty rats day for Dick and sixty
hVe for Bill, Dicks biggest week was the
last, when he killed no less than 61S rodents.
A careful estimate places the weight of the
rats slaughtered by Dick at over four tons
"A purse was made up and presented to
"Blinky Bill Dicks method, it is said, of
catching the rats by fixing barrels along
their runways and by setting lines with
balted hooks for them. He is proud of the
championship, and another match will be
arranged soon between the two boys.
The other lads who entered Were practi-
cally out of the race the first week The
miners who won on little Dick all chipped
IN something for him subsequently, and it
is said he carried home to his widowed
mother last night nearly $100.

Columbia Defeats Harvard.

New LONDON, Conn, June 30.-The Column
bia- Harvard freshman race was rowed this after
over the two-mile course the first of
he ebb 1t slow course. with headwind
against the boats. Harvard was the favorite in
the betting at three to one, with few takers, and
the result is therefore surprise every body.
The start made at 6:36:39, and the Column
ba light-weights leaped away with quarter
second lead from the young giants of Harvard,
and this lead was constantly increased at every
stroke, Columbia pulling So 10 Harvard's 3d. AT
the half mile the New York oarsmen were seven
seconds ahead, and dropped to 80. At the mile
the lead increased to thirteen seconds, or
three boat lengths. and near this point Sanborn,
who pulled No. 8 in Harvard's shell, kicked over
his slide and sat and rowed the bare irons for
the rest of the race, which, however. was vir-
tually before this accident. At the mile
and a half there were four boat lengths between
the crews and when Columbia pulled over the
line in ii minutes l seconds. she had five open
lengths between her and the Harvard shell.
Harvard's time was lI:349 Sanborn dropped in
a swoon in the bottom of the boat as they crossed
the line and did not for nearly half an
hour. He was cut considerably and his work
for the last mile plucky a specimen of
grit as ever shown IN boating
